Chapter 612
"You actually don't have this worry at all, because the Shadow Chamber of Commerce has already begun to collect grain from the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty, and these grains will enter the market of Western Qin at a critical moment to stabilize grain prices. Qin Yue said directly.
There are many things in history that can be traced, and the same is true of rebellions, most of which are caused by the price of food.
The big landowners would hoard food before the famine began, and then desperately raise the price of food when the famine began. And at this time, it is often the imperial court that comes out to act as the head of the wrongs.
And some places where the imperial court can't take care of it, they will rebel, and these rebels will directly kill the big landlords who deliberately raise the price of grain. Or it is to directly rob the granary of the government, so in this era, as long as the price of grain is controlled, then nothing will happen.
Now that Qin Yue directly uses the control of grain prices as a guarantee, then Qin Shuang has no reason to take action against the Zheng Family Chamber of Commerce.
Xue Tianhan snorted, and then agreed, this matter can be regarded as letting Qin Yue and the Zheng Family Chamber of Commerce pass the customs.
Zheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, she really didn't expect Qin Yue to let herself appear in front of Xue Tianhan so directly, isn't this no different from throwing herself into the net?
But the reason why this guy dares to do this is probably because he relies on it.
She could only comfort herself like this, of course, if she knew that Qin Yue was playing around without any dependence, she didn't know how she would feel in her heart.
And Qin Yue also hit a hatcher and said, "I'm like opening a port in Luoshan now, and I've already seen the hydrological data of Luoshan, which is quite suitable as a port." ”
"You don't need to report these things to me, according to the secret agent report of the Xuanniao Guard, the port over there should have already started, and it seems that it is not just a simple port, you are also going to build a shipyard somewhere. "Snort in the snow cold.
Qin Yue went to the Western Song Dynasty once before, and brought back a group of people from behind, and she let the people of Xuanniaowei focus on this group of people.
It's just that she didn't expect that these people would actually lay out for sea trade, and the speed was so fast, in such a short period of time, most of the construction of the port had been completed, as well as the manufacture of ships.
In fact, Qin Yue didn't look for her in this matter, and it was estimated that she would come to Qin Yue in the near future.
She is not as rigid as those old guys in the court, she will waste food because of choking, this sea trade has so many interests, why don't they take what they have in Xiqin.
Now it is true that the Western Song Dynasty pays over the New Year's coins every year, but these New Year's coins are given by others after all.
The most important thing is that the Western Song Dynasty has been training almost every year recently, and it may have been assisted by the grassland tribe before, but now the cavalry of the Western Song Dynasty has gradually grown.
It's just that these cavalrymen are serious in the military, just like a weak child. But as the days go by, whether these children will become the giants that even they need to fear, no one knows.
"I think you came to us today, not just because of the sea trade. Let's just say it, is there any trouble in the sea trade? Qin Shuang asked directly.
She is very aware of how many goods she needs at a time in the sea trade, Qin Yue grabbed a batch of goods in the black market last time, so the Shadow Chamber of Commerce can make a fortune. Now, it is estimated that this goods have been almost consumed, so this time they need to help.
It's just that Qin Shuang guessed the front correctly, but he didn't guess the back correctly.
The wealth taken from the treasury of the old country of Nanli this time was enough for Qin Yue to let the Shadow Chamber of Commerce expand aggressively for several years, and the reason why they were called was because Qin Yue was afraid that he would not be able to handle it alone.
Whether it is pressure from the imperial court, or from the military bigwigs, or the pressure from the Chamber of Commerce, it is not something that a small shadow Chamber of Commerce can withstand.
So the best thing to do is to assimilate them and make them their own.
"Just the four of us?" Xue Tianhan frowned.
She wanted to get involved in the sea trade a long time ago, so she also had a certain understanding of the sea trade, and now the team that Qin Yue pulled out was a little too shabby.
The Langya Chamber of Commerce may barely be regarded as a first-class Chamber of Commerce in Guiling County, the governor of Langya, but in terms of the entire Western Qin, it is a second-rate Chamber of Commerce, or even a second-rate end.
Although the Zhengjia Chamber of Commerce is a little better than the Langya Chamber of Commerce, it is only a little better, and the liquidity cannot be too much.
Needless to say, Qin Yue, this guy is now fully spreading out the business of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce in Guiling County and even the entire Western Qin, how much liquidity can he leave behind?
Not to mention that this guy has now come out with a whole fleet, and it is estimated that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce will be too poor to open the pot now.
"In the territory of Western Qin, there are only four of us, and there are at least two more in the Western Song Dynasty. Qin Yue said with a smile.
Huisong Firm will not be merged into the Shadow Chamber of Commerce in the near future.
First, if the Huisong firm is a firm name of the Western Song Dynasty, then it will be relatively easy to open up the situation in the Western Song Dynasty.
If it is said to be the business name of Western Qin, then it is very likely that it will face not only the pressure of the various chambers of commerce in the Western Song Dynasty, but even the pressure of the Western Song Dynasty.
The second is that the Shadow Chamber of Commerce is now under the supervision of Xuanniaowei, this time it should be regarded as a broken bone, if it comes up with a large amount of working capital to purchase goods, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Qin Yue was even ready to buy a few more chambers of commerce to cover people's eyes.
"This ...... Our maritime trade in Western Qin has just started, isn't it a little inappropriate to let the people of the Western Song Dynasty intervene?" Xue Tianhan said thoughtfully.
"There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, it is because it is just starting out, so it is necessary to let the people of the Western Song Dynasty intervene. Qin Yue said helplessly.
"It's not that you don't know, those bigwigs in the court said before that they couldn't go to the sea, and now our sailors with ocean experience here in Xiqin are useless. ”
Qin Shuang said very politely, "In this case, all of us organized by Western Qin will be sent to death if we go to sea!"
Zheng Ye looked at the three people in the field and said helplessly, "Then, let me ask, it is estimated that there are several ships in the fleet that went to sea this time." ”
"At present, it is estimated that in two months, there will be three seven-masted ships going to sea, and I don't know how many ships will be purchased in the Western Song Dynasty this time. Qin Yue said.
In fact, Qin Yue was very uninterested in going to the Western Song Dynasty to collect sea ships, because judging from the information he collected, the design of these sea ships in the Western Song Dynasty was extremely unreasonable.
The main reason for buying and not making it yourself is that several dockyards are now full, and even if they are full, they can only make up enough for six seven-masted ships before they go to sea.
It will not be a loss for these sea ships that Qin Yue is getting now to sell them when the time comes, and the efficiency of the Western Qin government driven by interests is very fast.
They may be able to tolerate the benefits of maritime trade in the first year, but if there are no more interests in maritime trade after that, those bureaucrats will kill people.
Moreover, when it comes to opening sea trade, Xiqin no longer knows how many big chambers of commerce are secretly preparing. These people are waiting for the opening of a sea trade, as long as the sea trade opens, then in a very short time, their fleet will also go to sea.
After all, the interests of sea trade are too great, and if you take a step earlier, the lead is huge, and no one wants to fall behind.
And what Qin Yue has to do is to seize the opportunity in this and lay out early. I just don't know how much my fleet can expand in a year.
After that, Xue Tianhan and the Zheng Family Chamber of Commerce were involved, and the share left to the West Qin side was only thirty percent, Qin Yue meant one person and one percent, but the Zheng Family Chamber of Commerce had to pay two percent, which was the price for Xue Tianhan to save the life of the Zheng Family Chamber of Commerce.
Zheng Ye has no opinion on the point of paying money to save his life, but Xue Tianhan directly asked Zheng Ye to pay one percent of the money to save his life for three years, and then he had to give up half of his share.
"I said that the snow is cold, don't go too far in doing things, this time it's just to test the water, and then you have money, you can form your own fleet, anyway, now this agreement is only three years, and the benefits of three years are enough for you to have a batch of expensive ships to launch." Qin Yue couldn't help but persuade in the end.
Compared to them, it seems to be a little easier on Xue Tianhan's side, after all, my sister is the king of Xiqin, and even if Xuanniaowei is a copy, he can copy a huge amount of wealth.
It's just that this part of the wealth cannot be privately swallowed, and it must be handed over to the inner treasury. But it's the same after handing over the inner treasury, anyway, Xuanniaowei is the emperor's eagle dog, so what is the difference between the emperor's money and their family's money?
Therefore, Qin Yue is still extremely optimistic about the most moneyless Xuanniao Wei now.
If this king is really willing to do it, or simply take out the treasury wealth of the old country of Nanli this time, then the richest person in the Chamber of Commerce this time is Xuanniaowei.
And at this time, the Western Song Dynasty was there
"I said you're not kidding......" Rong Chang looked at the pine stone in front of him and asked with some hesitation.
Because what I heard from Songshi just now is that the entire Huisong Merchant is now, and the Shadow Chamber of Commerce over there has three five-masted sea ships, you know, they sold a total of three five-masted sea ships to these people.
"Why am I joking, you don't know the situation in Xiqin, those officials require that they not go to the sea, so the sea trade in Xiqin will be blank, if not, what are we looking for you for?"
Although what Songshi said was very polite, Rongchang had to admit that what Songshi said was reality, otherwise others would not do it alone, but would come to these people from other countries.
"So what are you going to do next?" Rong Chang immediately asked.
"Shopkeeper Rong, I don't say secret words, five-masted sea ships, 150 million taels of silver, let's start with ten. Songshi said directly.
Because this time Qin Long did not bring a lot of cash, and most of the settlements still used the golden tickets of the United Chamber of Commerce, so he didn't want a lot of sea ships.
You know, the fleets sailing on the surface of the sea have hundreds of ships at every turn.
It's just that what Songshi didn't expect was that his proposal would directly put Rongchang on the opposite side into a sluggish state. 150 million taels of silver a sea ship, directly come to ten.
If he didn't know that this pine stone in front of him really had some ability, and the family behind him also had that ability, Rongchang might have already driven people away.
When you are a big sea ship, you want cabbage, and you want ten five-masted sea ships for export?
"That pine shopkeeper, let me ask, is it ten five-masted ships?" Rong Chang finally confirmed, because this transaction was too scary.
"That's right, it's ten five-masted ships, is it too little? I'll add it later. "Songshi also thought that Rongchang disliked the number too little.
"No, no, no, it's enough, plus the previous three, the few shipbuilding businesses I know are already out of content. Rong Chang said with a wry smile.
What is this called, the Rongsheng has accumulated the current wealth, and the purchase of a five-masted sea ship was purchased three years ago, after learning from the pain, and preparing to gain a certain right to speak in the fleet.
Now there are three sea ships on the opposite side, and then ten sea boats, which is simply ......
"I remember you once said that when a fleet goes to sea, there are basically hundreds of ships. Songshi asked with some confusion.
"Generally three seven-masted ships, ten five-masted ships, plus some three-masted ships, there are really not as many as you think. Even in the largest fleet today, the number of five-masted ships will never exceed twenty. Rong Chang immediately dispelled Songshi's thoughts.
What are you kidding, he thought that the sea trade that Songshi talked about was just playing in the first year. Unexpectedly, there were more than a dozen five-masted ships coming up, and even if there was no seven-masted ship town, a fleet of this size could be regarded as a medium-sized fleet.
"Actually, it's okay not to be brand new, it's okay to be in the water for a year or two. Songshi said with a frown.
He had heard it before, and this guy Rongchang didn't know many people in the maritime business, and he only had a dozen sea ships, and he had eaten all the docks he knew.
You must know that his boss ordered that if he wanted to get it, he would get the most powerful sea fleet in the entire Xiqin, and even in the entire Xizhou.
Now there are three seven-masted ships launched on the dock side, and with these dozen five-masted ships, it is still a little bit worse than the largest fleet.
Qin Long was extremely calm and sat in the courtyard drinking tea, although these Rongsheng people didn't know whether the business was successful or not, but they didn't dare to slack off at all.
What kind of person is this? When they did it to those big firms before, they suspected that it was the people behind Huisong Firm, and Huisong Firm itself did not have that ability.
This is the big guy behind the Huisong firm, the big devil who kills people without blinking, and the kind of ruthless character who kills everyone when he shoots.
